Excellent opportunity to purchase this Stan Huntingford designed Cooper 353 Pilothouse. Light, bright & beamy, this is the perfectly designed boat for comfortable year round cruising in the waters of the Pacific Northwest. Built in Coquitlam BC Canada, she features extensive interior teak woodwork of a quality not seen in more modern yachts. Her pilothouse design and six opening ports provide unparalleled lightness within. Well appointed with generous head room and extra cupboards rarely found on other Cooper 353s. Tranquil Sound has had continuous upgrades including new 32 hp diesel engine (August 2012); Mainsail and Genoa; Lofrans Tigres windlass; Dickinson diesel heat; Dickinson propane barbeque; Nova Kool refrigeration; Fuel tank; Holding tank with macerator pump; Xantrex 3 bank battery charging system; 4 new Golf Cart deep cycle batteries plus 1 starting battery; Upholstery main cabin; Sail cover.
Tranquil Sound sails well in both light and heavy air and easily attains her hull speed. She is safe, solid and well balanced. With sails set, the hydraulic steering allows for hands free sailing without the aid of autopilot. Reefing for both mainsail and genoa is done without leaving the cockpit.
Sadly, seller is motivated. This boat has been our home away from home for 12 years, and the numerous upgrades reflect this. The engine costs alone were $16,500. The boat is in very good condition and is ready to take you on your adventures in comfort and style.
